ABOUT This popular history of American invention and know-how has been produced with the BBC television programme, The Inventing of America.
Originally Americans were forced to be inventive to overcome the problems of their alien and hostile environment. Subsequently their greatest invention - the 'American system of manufacture' - mass-production enabled them to outstrip their competitors and lead the world.
Their successes, and their failures, are here told in a fully illustrated narrative, and wherever possible, through the words of the original inventors.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations.
